Favorite Resources for Dyscalculic Adults

As dyscalculia-awareness grows, more adults are discovering the reason for their life-long struggles. They are dyscalculic.

Because dyscalculia is categorized as a learning disability, most people assume it only impacts learning and school. But dyscalculia deeply impacts many daily life tasks for individuals of all ages.

I am often asked what supports there are for dyscalculic adults. Here are a few helpful resources.

The Dyscalculia Network has a great web page, specifically for Adults with Dyscalculia, with information, resources, and events in collaboration with their Adult Dyscalculia Advisory Board.

Dyscalculia Services offers a Math in Real Life video series to support adults in various everyday life situations. Watch a free video in the series either on "Subtraction" or "Math on Your Birthday" to see if this resource is for you.

Neuropsych Assessment can be a great place to start your journey. It can help clarify if your struggles are due to dyscalculia, or another reason. You can also learn about your unique style of learning, thinking, and processing information. 

Learning more about dyscalculia and how it impacts your life is the best place to start. If you learn best through video or audio learning, check out the videos on my YouTube Channel, or this page with free podcasts and webinars. If you prefer reading to learn, download my free reading list here.

If you would like to talk with someone further about dyscalculia and questions you have, I offer 1:1 Dyscalculia Consult Calls over Zoom. Questions are often related to what dyscalculia is, the various ways it impacts everyday life, evaluations, communicating with friends and coworkers about it, navigating careers, and anxiety.
